defining characteristics
Exercise intolerance w/ premature fatigue in anaerobic ex, stiffness/weakness in exercising muscles relieved by rest; rhabdomyolysis w/ intense ex, second wind phenomenon
disease development
Myophosphorylase deficiency, preventing the breakdown of glycogen to glucose (glycogen cannot be converted to G6P)
potential causes
Defect in glycogen breakdown
epidemiology
risk factors
labimaging
Histology? Abnormal deposits of glycogen
